After you sign up, Claudessa’s onboarding AI calls your phone and has a 15–20 minute conversation about your business — your services, pricing, service area, hours, emergency policies, and how you want calls handled. That conversation builds a detailed knowledge base that no web form could match. The AI learns your business the way a new employee would: by asking smart questions and listening to the answers.
Every missed call is a job that goes to someone else. Claudessa answers in one ring, 24/7, and books the job before your competitor picks up the phone. Try it free for 14 days or first 30 calls.
